2 Kings7:17

17 ¶ And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned, to have the charge of the gate : and the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God had said, who spake when the king came down to him.

Partly, to prevent tumults, and disorders and mischiefs amongst the people: and partly, to take order about the shutting of the Gates, if need were, and if the Syrians should happen to return upon them.
